註釋

World Baseball Classic (WBC) is the most significant international baseball tournament for national teams across the globe. The inaugural tournament of the World Baseball Classic was held in March 2006, jointly organized by Major League Baseball (MLB) and its players union, and sanctioned by the International Baseball Federation (IBAF). The main reason behind the inception of WBC was to honor baseball as a global sport and to provide an international platform for the countries participating in the event. The tournament features 16 teams across five continents and four oceans, with the defending champions being the United States of America. The tournament is held every four years, with the latest edition being in 2017. The initial rounds of the tournament are played at various venues in the countries of the participating teams, and the final rounds are usually held at a neutral venue in the US. The World Baseball Classic has been instrumental in shaping the international baseball landscape and providing opportunities for lesser-known teams to showcase their talent.
